Fake Bills Circulating in Beatrice Area

BEATRICE – Beatrice Police are investigating the discovery of fake $100 bills in the community.

Investigators say the bills are being sold on various online sites as “training bills” used to train bank tellers, overseas.

The bills are marked in red ink with Chinese lettering, reportedly stating that the bills are not legal currency in China. Police are alerting citizens and local merchants in Gage County that the fake bills are possibly being used in southeast Nebraska.
